Monthly Archives: December 2015

As 2015 slowly but surely runs out and the countdown starts to a New Year and a brighter future, we often sit and reflect on what was and what could have been.

But we cannot waste the start of a New Year on dwelling in the past. What was, was and will never change. We can only use the New Year to ensure we do better, learn from what we did wrong, improve on what we did right and grab each new opportunity by the horns. Don’t shy away from risks, but then also know when one isn‘t going to pay off.

Alot of the country is still in holiday mode and we still have the unfortunate exposure to continued road accidents, injuries and deaths. We ask that you please take care, be alert, drive safely and stay alive. Be one of the smart and fortunate ones who get to say “Happy New Year”, who get to enjoy 2016 and who get to see and experience all that it has to offer.

We look forward to being part of what we believe will be a year of challenges, successes, opportunites and victories. We look forward to sharing this year with you all and everything it will offer and present to us.

Make the most of the last few days of 2015 and get ready to rock…get ready to roll…and get ready to have a year like no other.

December has alwasy been a month where a greater focus has been placed on road fatalities due to the large volumes of traffic on the roads in concentrated periods of time.

If we look at the statsistics presented by Minister Peters last week, we had already reached 487 deaths by the 13th of December.
Last year we saw close to 1400 deaths on our roads over the Festive Season.

If we take these years figures we may see a slight reduction in these numbers but even 1 death on our roads is too much.
We MUST find ways to minimise these tragic occurrences, not just in December but every day of every month of every year.

It is up to us, the driver to be responsible and alert every time we get behind the wheel.

None of us are above the law and we need to ensure we obey all the laws set out as they are there for a very good reason
